NGC891, an edge on spiral galaxy - Frank Marks (frank)

Description

:

5 minute x 4 exposures using a Canon EOS 20D SLR digital camera mounted at F7 focus on my Celestron CGE 1400 with tracking equatorial mount. A .63 focal reducer was use. A low light B/W video ccd camera was attached to a piggy backed 150mm F12 mak telescope. FinderVISION video crosshairs were used to aid with manual guiding during the exposure. I used Maxim/DL CCD software from Diffraction Limited with Max Eos driver software from bearcreekobservatory.com to process the picture. Than I used Neat Image to further reduce noise in the image.
